Dr. Marie S. Tuttle, MD, FAAD spent years inside large institutional systems before concluding that dermatological care delivered at scale wasn't delivering much. In 2018 she left to found Dermatology Clinic of Southern Utah — a single-doctor independent practice on Riverside Drive built around what she describes as uncompromising individualized care.
The FAAD designation, Fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology, puts her in the board-certified tier of dermatologists rather than the cosmetic-provider tier that dominates much of the market. Her clinical scope runs the full age range — infantile hemangiomas through geriatric skin cancers — and covers conditions that require medical diagnosis rather than spa protocols: eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, nail disease, hair loss, and skin cancer evaluation and surgical excision. Kashae Anderson, PA-C provides additional clinical capacity.
Insurance accepted includes Medicare, SelectHealth, Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, Cigna, Aetna, PEHP, DMBA, University of Utah Health Plans, Humana, EMI, and Wise Network — a panel that covers most working Southern Utah families.
